Resume of the Tobacco Trade-Louisville
Far in the Lead.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 26.-The Courier
Journal this morning publishes a compre-
hensive. valuable review of the leaf to-
bacco situation, showing the facts of the
yield and supply against the averages of
consumption When it is considered that
Kentucky produces 81 per cent. of the
leaf tobacco crop of the United States, and
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee,
Ohio and Missouri produce "A per cent. of
the total tobacco crop of the United States
it will be seen the summary is of general
interest Following are the main points
of the article: Western leaf crop foots up
&c, 900, 900 pounds, or 70 per cent. of the re-
cent averages, and the eastern leaf crop
u. O0O, 900 pounds, or 80 per cent, decrease.
The eastern and western leaf crop and all
the market stocks of the United States
make UP 360000,000 pounds against $751;
100000, a year ago, and 575,0OO,000 two
wears ago. The supply from new crops
and market stocks falls 2l,000,000 pounds
below the late average, taking for domestic
and foreign consumption, while in 1886
there was a surplus of 23,0O0,000 pounds,
and in 1885 surplus of 100000 pounds.
The western barley crop Is $1,000 600
pounds. and the dark and heavy crop 49,,
O000o0 pounds.
In conclusion. the review states In this
the history year OF the tobacco trade of
Louisville has much more than main
tanned her former prominence as the prin
cipal tobacco market of the United States,
and indeed, of this world, the business
done here in 1887 materially surpasses IN
magnitude that Of all other years, lnclud-
ing that of the Jubilee of 1885.

COLD DAKOTA.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 26.-The storm which
was in central Dakota yesterday, reached
here this afternoon and turned the light
snow into an iucipent blizzard. So far it
has not seriously interfered with railroad
or street car travel, but if the wind contin
ues the snow will drift badly. North and
west the violence of the storm has given
place to sharp decline in temperature.
which Is already (at .. NJ beginning to be
felt here. \ pioneer press special from
Mitchell, Dakota, reports the mercury six
degrees below zero there at o'clock this
morning, with a northwest wind. Over

Unfair DECISION CLAIMED.
Harvard Claims That Hancock Decided Tn
fairly. in His Own Favor.

Boston. Nov 26-Six hundred Harvard
students who went to New York to witness
Thursdays foot ball game, claim that the
game was unfairly won by Yale, being the
direct gift by the referee and umpire. They
say that the touch down made by Corbin
from which goal backed was unfair, as it
is distinctly provided in the rules that the
entire up cannot run with the ball before it
has touched another man which it had not
in this case. This would take off six
points The touch down was disallowed
BY Referee Cook, of Princeton, on the
ground that it was made 10 seconds after
he had called time Over fifty Harvard
men who timed the game will swear that
without counting the time taken out, the
total playing time was 40 minutes. This
would have given Harvard four more
points, a total Of eleven, and would have
given the team confidence and would have
won the game They say that Umpire
Hancock, quarter back of Princeton, was
predjudced in his decisions and this is
shown by the ascertained fact that he
was interested in a wager of sl75 on Yale
against Harvard

BANGOR, Ne, Nov. 26.-The Bangor

this week and interviewed many promi-
nent men there on the subject of CONNER
cial union, fisheries and other leading
questions. Today the Commercial prints
interviews on these topics. The project
for commercial union receives the endorse
ment of but one man of any prominence.
All express friendly feeling towards the
seals which they say exists throughout the
provinces, and all give their views as to
how trade with the states could be in
creased. They look to a settlement of the
fisheries dispute by the commission and
that very soon. When asked in regard to
the project for the purchase OF the mari
time provinces by the United States. they
asserted that such proposition would not
be considered by the people of the domin-

bonds and money, and about three months
ago returned from Austria whether he had

here yesterday. Late last night the jury

away with him, still leaving a deficit of

Couldn't Read His Own Handwriting.
During the war a quantity Of personal
property belonging to q resident OF Washing
ton was seized ard confscated by tho United
States. For years the original owner made
repeated attempts to secure an order for its
restoration from the quartermaster who had
charge Of it. But he was obdurate, and in
sisted that it should be restored only through
an act of congress. Still the attorney for the
plaintiff persisted, and again he wrote to
Quartermaster General Meigs for an order Of
restoration. This was about the seventh at
tempt, and the officer had grown impatient.
He wrote an exceedingly vigorous reply, in
which he alphabetically refused to do as re-
quested The handwriting was frightful.
The attorney saw his chance. He fastened
to his client, and thrusting the letter to him,
said, II have succeeded at last. Here is the
order" The 'order" was taken to the corral,
where the officer in charge recognized the
signature and at once turned over the prop
erty. When Gen. Meigs asked what had be-
come of it he was told that it had been re-
stored on his order He saw the order, and as
he could not read it, he simply said: Il do
not remember signing it."-Boston Tran

He who forgives is victor in the dispute
Central African PrOyerb

Correcting common errors concerning
the Esquimaux, Mr.. John Murdoch points
out that there is no evidence that the
women have plurality of husbands; that
the people do not live in underground
dens, keeping up their internal heat by
enormous meals of raw blubber washed
down with draughts of lamp oil; that
they do not torpidly doze through their
long night; and that they are not at all
dwarfish in stature. The winter houses
of snow are usually built upon the sur
face, the food is chiefly cooked, oil is used
much the same as among civilized people,
and the activity of the villages is not les
sened by winter, whose darkness has been
exaggerated. -Arkansaw Traveller.
